Absence makes the heart go faster....

As I only get to drive the 'ro occasionally these days, I just thought I'd share my Joy and Fear of that mahoosive power we all have under our feet.
Got in it today and it was like getting in a "new" car. The pedals felt heavy, steering heavy but precise, and power, well, loads of it.
I think its very easy if its you're daily driver to get too used to these cars. It almost seems a privelige now when I drive it and enjoy it even more. Problem is I just end up driving around with the window open, grinning, shouting POWWWEERRRR! in a JC style.....

The best car I've ever owned.

Thanks for the indulgance.

Mine's a daily driver, but I know what you mean. I poodle mine around like an old lady most of the time. That way, when I do decide to open her up I still feel that rush. It's brilliant.

I had a nice little snakey back end squirm in 2nd gear in the way home tonight as the tyres hadn't warmed up. Had a little chuckle to myself and made my way home

Bliss.

Mines a weekender. I drive all week in a 'crappo' truck with nearly 8 horsepower. By the time I get in the 'ro at the weekend it feels like i'm driving it from new all over again. Wish the weekends could last forever. Also drier weather coming as well. WOOT

Mine does not have to be my daily driver but I can't stop driver her so is my daily driver, clocked 30k yesterday and was dead on 24k when I bought her on 10th Oct 09 that's 1k a month LOL and that was through the winter period!!!

I'm the same as Tempy......cruise around as a daily driver, but still get the yeeehaaaa factor when i take it onto a decent road and floor it! Awesome car the Monaro, had it nearly 2 years now...and still turn back and look at it whenever i get out of the car!

My little work Polo has been laid up waiting for a wheel bearing to be replaced, so I've been using the Monaro this week, such a shame

Oil warmed, window down, out of the roadworks at 50, boring cars bunched up behind, select 3rd, apply throttle gradually, bonnet lifts, exhaust blares, supercharger whines, the scenery blurs, laugh histerically

My god I'm a lucky man.
